In honor of the inauguration of the 100th Rose Queen, Pasadena Museum of History presents an exhibition celebrating the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Royal Court. Exquisite Coronation gowns of past Rose Queens and Princesses are on display, as well as day wear, accessories, and jewelry from the Court wardrobes, all generously lent by former members of the Royal Court. A special highlight is Queen’s crowns from the past century, on loan from the Tournament of Roses.

Armory Center for the Arts joins the citywide Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative with the exhibition "Below the Underground: Renegade Art and Action in 1990s Mexico."

This exhibition examines diverse independent artist initiatives – from newly acquired brick and mortar spaces, to ad hoc street performances and interventions, living room galleries, clubs, collaboratively produced ‘zines, archives and collections, pirate radio programs, and more. The project also references pronounced divisions of class, race, and gender, with art objects themselves the tangible outcomes of many different conditions of creating, living, and experimenting within the same place.

The Armory galleries are open daily from 12:00-5:00pm (closed Tuesdays).

About Pacific Standard Time LA/LABelow the Underground: Renegade Art and Action in 1990s Mexico is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, taking place from September 2017 through January 2018 at more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.
